DE filters use diatomaceous earth to filter debris. DE is basically crushed sea shells and is not harmful to the environment in any way. DE filters use grids, together with diatomaceous earth to filter the pool water. With this type of filter, following the manufacturers recommended maintenance plan, backwashing and recharging once every 2 weeks, you should only have to clean this type filter once every 6 months.
Cartridge filters require a little more cleaning maintenance, with a typical cleaning once every 3 to 4 months. Cartridge filters use 4 round paper like filters to clean debris from the pool water. Unlike DE filters, you can not backwash a cartridge filter. When debris becomes trapped in the filter there is nowhere for it to go, and more and more debris begins to build up and starts to cause poor water circulation, straining your pump and eventually causing issues with your water chemistry.
Sand filters use sand to filter the pool water, and like DE filters, you can backwash this type filter. Sand filters can go the longest time between filter cleans, typically every 4 to 5 years between cleanings, but are the most expensive to clean and maintain.

Whatever your filtering system, Texan Blue Pool Service is prepared to repair, install, service or maintain any Hayward, Pentair, Jandy or Sta-Rite filter you may have, wherever you are in the Roanoke area.

Additional Filter information

If you are looking at different Roanoke pool filters, you might also want to know about the two types of backwash pool filter valves: the rotary valve and the piston valve. These backwash valves help redirect the flow of water in case of particles getting trapped into the filter. This prevents lowering the efficiency of your Roanoke filter. A rotary valve has a lever that the user rotates to a proper position and select the desired filter function. The piston valve has a piston which can be lowered or raised to pick the needed filter function. In order to help your Roanoke filter continue to run smoothly, you might also want to become familiar with the different backwash valve positions: filter, backwash, closed, drain, recirculate, rinse and drain.

The filter position circulates and purifies the water. This is the default setting. The backwash position flushes out trapped particles in the filter. The closed position blocks the flow of water. Be sure to never have the water pump on when the filter is in this position. The recirculate position does not filter the water, but keeps circulating it. The rinse position helps you clean the filter. Finally, the drain position suctions water from the pool and directs it to a waste line so it does not return to the swimming pool.
